Join the Palatine American Legion for dinner
The Palatine American Legion Post 690 is holding two Friday dinners which are open to the public, from 5-8 p.m. Oct. 8 and Oct. 29 in the clubroom at the American Legion Hall 122 W. Palatine Road in Palatine to raise funds for Legion Family Charities.
"We have two inexpensive, fun meals planned that the whole family can enjoy," said Todd Pearson, Legion Commander. "We have a traditional German meal and one that will bring back memories from old style diners. The dinners will be in our family friendly clubroom."
Tickets are $8; $6 for children 8-12 and $4 for children under 7.
On Oct. 8, the Legion will serve pork schnitzel, spaetzle with gravy, rye bread, red cabbage, apple sauce and German chocolate cake for dessert. On Oct. 29, they will serve a "Blue Plate Special." All meals include side dishes, bread or rolls, coffee and dessert. A cash, full service bar is open in the clubroom.
"We are always looking for new members for the American Legion," said Pearson. "If you are interested in supporting those individuals who have defended our country then the Legion is the organization for you. If you have any questions on the American Legion or any of our activities call us at (847) 359-1606."
The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation's largest veterans service organization, committed to mentoring and sponsorship of youth programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service members and veterans.
The Palatine Chapter holds its monthly general meeting at 7:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at the American Legion Hall on Palatine Road in Palatine.
